In 1979, the very first Kubota M7500 Tractors went out. They were produced until 1986. Make sure you have access to your tractor serial number, because there is a chance that the Kubota M7500 parts you need depend on that serial number. Usually, the serial number is printed on the clutch housing, left side. That serial number is determined by the year of manufacturing, so for a 1979 model, it starts with 10001 (M7500C), for a 1980 model it starts with 10026 (M7500C), for a 1981 model it starts with 10294 (M7500C), for a 1982 model it starts with 10577 (M7500C), for a 1978 model it starts with 10001 (M7500DT), for a 1979 model it starts with 10401 (M7500DT), for a 1980 model it starts with 10436 (M7500DT), for a 1981 model it starts with 10761 (M7500DT), for a 1982 model it starts with 11490 (M7500DT), for a 1983 model it starts with 11744 (M7500DT), for a 1984 model it starts with 50056 (M7500DT), for a 1985 model it starts with 60011 (M7500DT), for a 1986 model it starts with 69966 (M7500DT). Some Kubota M7500 Tractors have a 4x2 2WD chassis, but there are also some with a 4x4 MFWD 4WD (M7500DT) chassis, all equipped with power steering. They also have mechanical wet disc brakes. The type II/I 3-point hitch is very reliable, capable to lift 3,740 lbs [1696 kg]. It is also worth noting that the independent rear PTO runs at 540/ground rpms.
